on 02026-04-11#news about the #PV #energy explosion: “#Pakistan says rooftop #solar output to exceed grid demand in some hubs next year (...) “Negative demand” is likely in the northwestern city of #Lahore, which has some of the country's highest solar penetration, followed by Faisalabad and Sialkot, where industrial areas are driving solar adoption, [Aisha Moriani] said. (...) The south Asian nation is planning to introduce new tariffs for large solar users, as well as changes to fee structures to ensure businesses with panels share equally in the costs of grid upkeep, she said.”

Etc. I didn’t finish it.

on 02025-11-17#vanlife #video by Nomad Brad living in his work van (a converted U-Haul truck) in a Home Depot parking lot. Not very #stealthcamping because it has tinted windows on the sides and an air-conditioner condenser sticking off the back, wood siding and a residential-sized door on the back, and visible solar panels on top, and it also advertises his services as a solar installer for vans and RVs on the sides. He does seem to have a door between the cab and the box, but he doesn’t use it. Brief demonstration of installing a kilowatt of PV on the roof of a trailer for a client. Separation toilet, small fridge, induction cooktop, espresso machine, 1200W of #solar #PV on the roof, 5100Wh of LFP batteries, a 3kW Sungold inverter, etc. He also has a portable “power station” for use on the job site. He spends the next night in the parking lot of a Planet Fitness gym, where he showers.
on 02025-06-12#PV #solar #energy #pricing falls to a new low? OPIS APAC Solar Weekly says their “module marker” has fallen to 17.3¢/W over the last four weeks after being between 20¢ and 25¢ since the beginning of the year, falling 11.7% in just the last week, its “largest percentage drop ever”. “Europe installed a record 46.1 GW of solar power in 2022, according to a SolarPower Europe report. But around 85 GW of modules were shipped there last year, with the remainder ending up in warehouses owned by Chinese companies across Europe.”
